General Advice needed. New to dissociation

[Unsureifhope]

Trying to help someone. Can someone dissociate and “participate” but not want to? They said felt cornered and felt pressured. Felt fuzzy, felt nothing (like no feeling), and only bits and pieces remembered. I’m struggling over a situation that I’m too nervous to share about. It was a stressful situation for them and they have past trauma related to this.

Yes & No.

IE that’s most people where they do something they don’t want to.

Very few people can admit what they did -that doesn’t fit in with either their self image, or how they want to be perceived- to others, and sometimes to themselves.

Unless? They were a child, at the time.

Yes, for me, disassociation is often like "zoning out" or feeling fuzzy. Other times I am gone, somewhere else. It's my go to coping mechanism when I'm overwhelmed.

I’m using grounding exercises to keep me from disassociating during therapy sessions.
